I can't be sure, particularly since I haven't seen your data.
But you might try
    "set auto fix"
This disables the default action of extending the axis ranges to
the nearest axis tick label.  I.e. if your y tick marks were set
to every 20, then the next lower tick from 15 would be 0, which
might be what you are seeing.
